Last weekends was one of the hottest weekend of the summer & we spent most of the weekend outside!
Kyle was up in slack at Burwell on Friday morning. It was the first time since we have been together that I have missed the slack. We were having an open house at work & it just was not going to work for me to go to Burwell Friday morning. Chip, Marilyn, Jenae & Aubree all went down for the morning. He roped his first calf & bulldogged his first steer in slack. He didn't have any luck in the calf roping but made a decent run on his steer. It didn't place but he was good for the average. He had his 2nd calf & steer in the Saturday afternoon performance. Needless to say it was HOT!!! He did well and placed on his calf & placed in the average on his steer.
On Sunday, we loaded up and headed to Valentine for a Jr. Rodeo for Jenae. We left our house at 6:15 and left Chip & Marilyn's house at 6:30. I was mistaken and thought the rodeo started at 10:00, however it actually started at 9:00. It is a good thing Chip wanted to get there plenty early. We got to Valentine about 10 till 9. It ended up that Jenae had plenty of time before her first event anyway. She was disappointed that she did not place in any of her events, but on the positive side, her goat stayed tied, she had a qualified ride in the flag race, and did not tip over a barrel or a pole. It turns out her month of being on the go in July was not great for her rodeoing. She just didn't have the time to practice before the rodeo. It was a hot & muggy day. Thankfully there is a nice covered grandstand so we were at least able to get out of the sun. We got home about 6:00 Sunday evening. We were all so tired after being out in the heat all day long!
